Editing a combination Status settings

Status settings

Adjust these settings in the COMBI> PROG page.

This controls the status of MIDI and the internal tone

generator for each Timbre. Normally, if you’re playing an

internal Program, this should be set to INT.

If the status is set to Off, EXT, or EX2, that Timbre’s

internal sounds will not be played. Off simply disables the

Timbre entirely. The EXT and EX2 settings allow the

Timbre to control an external MIDI device.

For details, please see “Status” on page 71 of the Parameter

Guide.

MIDI settings

MIDI Channel

Adjust these settings in the C-TIMBRE> MIDI page.

Timbres that you wish to play from the KROSS’s keyboard

must be set to the global MIDI channel. Your playing on the

keyboard is transmitted on the global MIDI channel, and will

trigger any timbre that matches this channel. Normally you

will set this to Gch. When this is set to Gch, the MIDI

channel of the timbre will always match the global MIDI

channel, even if you change the global MIDI channel.

On some preloaded Combinations, Timbres used by the

arpeggiator may have their MIDI Channels set to

something other than Gch. These will be timbres that

play only when the arpeggiator is on, which is a very

useful technique for creating “Apreggiator based”

Combinations.

For details, please see “Arpeggiator settings in

Combination and Sequencer modes” on page 76. In

particular, note the relationships between arpeggiator A/

B assignments and the MIDI Channel.

Bank Select (when status=EX2)

When the Status (COMBI> PROG) is set to EX2, these

parameters allow you to transmit MIDI Bank Select

messages to external MIDI devices.

MIDI filter settings

Adjust these settings in the C-MIDI FILTER> 1–4 pages.

For each MIDI Filter item, you can specify whether or not

the corresponding MIDI message will be transmitted and

received. The checked items will be transmitted and

received.

The MIDI filters don’t turn the functions themselves on or

off. Instead, the filter just controls whether or not that MIDI

message will be transmitted and received.

For example, if portamento is on, portamento will be applied

to the internal KROSS sound even if Enable Portamento SW

is unchecked.

As another example, let’s say that you’ve selected a bass

Program for Timbre 1, and a piano Program for Timbre 2,

with the goal of creating a bass/piano split. You could

choose the following settings so that pressing the damper

pedal affects only Timbre 2’s piano sound:

1. Access the C–MIDI FILTER> 1 page.

2. Un-check the Damper (Enable Damper) box for

Timbre 1.

3. Check the Damper (Enable Damper) box for

Timbre 2.

Changing the program settings to

match the combination

You can make various changes to Programs within the

context of a particular Combination to make them fit better

with other Programs, or to create particular sonic effects.

These changes do not affect the original Programs, or how

those Programs sound in other Combinations. (see page 77

of the Parameter Guide)

Timbre oscillator settings

Adjust these settings in the C-TIMBRE> OSC page.

Force OSC Mode

If you wish to force a polyphonic program to sound

monophonically, set this either to Mono or Legato.

Conversely, set this to Poly if you wish to force a

monophonic program to play polyphonically.

Normally this should be set to PRG, so that the sound will

play as set by the original Program.

For details, please see “Force OSC Mode” on page 77 of the

Parameter Guide.

OSC Select

If the timbre is using a Program where the Oscillator Mode

is Double, and you want only OSC1 or OSC2 (not both) to

sound, set this to onlyOSC1 (only OSC1 will sound) or

onlyOSC2 (only OSC2 will sound). Conversely, specify

onlyOSC2 if you want only OSC2 to produce sound. If you

want to use the unchanged settings of the program so that the

original sound is heard, set this to OSC1&2.

During last night's gig, my Kross 2 started changing "Favorites" - one after the other - switching through the banks and sounds, while I was playing. What could cause that. It didn't do it all the time, just every now and then at random. Submitted on 4-9-2022 at 00:59
